Wow Lilac this is way way more difficult than it has to be. Somebody else please jump in and help me out here because this is getting exhausting. I'll try again for the last time then I give up.

OK, seriously I had no intentions of getting into this debate. I for one LOVE dogs, love, love, love them. I have owned them, grew up around them, enjoyed them my whole life. I used to look at people who avoided my gorgeous, flawless, wonderful, Golden Retriever as freaks. I mean who the heck were THEY to treat my child, my buddy as a second class citizen. They were the ones with the problem, not me. Anyway, with that said, I would NEVER, EVER, EVER tell anyone at downings what to do on their own property, neither would you. That is not what I intended or implied you should do.

YOU SAID: I will paraphrase: You wouldn't go somewhere because of some dogs off lead.

I SAID: That is how some people feel about your dogs or anyone else's dogs that may be off lead somewhere.

I recommended that you should apply that logic to how folks might disagree with your stance that Public Boat Launches should be dog friendly assuming that folks would abuse the leash law. We can assume this because people do abuse this law as agreed to by almost everyone here.

I am done explaining this as people are probably bored with this. Good luck and I hope you find someplace to allow your pooch to swim freely.
